B minorBm
He gets up each morning and he goes downtown,
D MajorD
where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land..
GbGb
he's a little man..
#1.
BB
But then, he comes uptown each evening to my tenement,
AbmAbm
uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent.
E MajorE AbmAbm
And when he's there with me he can see that he's everything,
G+G E minorEm DbmDbm BB
then he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king.
#2.
B minorBm
Downtown he's just one of a million guys,
D MajorD
he don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give..
GbGb
cause he's got to live.
CHORUS:
BB
But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high,
AbmAbm
uptown he knows that I'll be standing by.
E MajorE AbmAbm
And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down.
G+G BB
The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown.

CHORUS:
BB
Let me tell ya now, uptown where he can hold his head up high,

The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptooooown.
